Three strangers—a blind psychiatrist, a disgraced cricketer, and a guilt-ridden librarian—are haunted by a supernatural entity connected to an abandoned mental hospital. Their stories intersect in a labyrinthine narrative.

Eeram (meaning “moisture”) is a visually stunning film that uses water as both a motif and a terror device. Every scene drips with atmosphere—rain, dripping taps, flooded rooms. The plot is a classic ghostly revenge tale, but the execution is fresh. The investigative structure keeps you engaged, and the climax, where the ghost’s identity is revealed, is heartbreaking. The background score by Thaman is hauntingly beautiful.
